South Korea's President Yoon faces crucial referendum in parliamentary election

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's relationship with the United States and Japan has strengthened, but his domestic agenda has been hindered by missteps and an opposition-controlled Parliament. The nation is currently holding parliamentary elections for the 300 seats in its single-chamber legislature, the National Assembly. The outcome of these elections could either provide Yoon with a mandate to pursue his policies or render him a lame duck leader.
